One of the hottest trends today is do-it-yourself decorating. Shows like “Designing Cents,” “Trading Spaces,” and “The Christopher Lowell Show” provide inspiration for ways to incorporate current decorating trends into your home décor while sticking to your budget. Everyone wants their home to be stylish and reflect their personality. As these shows demonstrate, easy, inexpensive changes can have a major impact on your home.Simple changes can make a huge difference in a room. It doesn’t take a custom-built entertainment center to add drama to a room. Something as straightforward as choosing a new paint color can have a considerable impact. Imagine the walls in your family room going from beige to a bold, new color such as sage, melon or navy.

Botanical prints can be expensive. A great way to have them (or any beautiful artwork for that matter) without paying a fortune for them is to find books with prints in them & tear out or photocopy the pictures & frame them.

I was lucky enough to find a beautiful book of botanical prints at a yardsale & have used lots of the prints in my home. I also scour second-hand stores for unique frames-usually with pictures I don't care for in them that I remove. I purchased all of the frames pictured (above &below) for $1.50- $3.00 each.

Here are some coral & lobster prints I used for a bathroom-in-progress in my dad's lake house:

I do mostly long-distance decorating since it's in Antioch, Illinois, but when I visit, I try to accessorize as quickly as I can on a serious budget. The prints are a great way to accessorize a lake house since they're so fitting and I only had to make 1 purchase so my dad doesn't gripe about me spending too much on decorating every time I come!

Here's a close-up of a fully opened page. You can see the fold in the center, but I think it sort of adds to the charm. Eventually I plan on matting all of the prints, but that's another project on another trip!

I absolutely love the furniture at IKEA. It is the perfect solution to the problem of expensive furniture.IKEA home furniture offers everything you can imagine, from bedroom sets and dressers, to kitchen tables and entertainment centers, to couches and recliners, and even home décor such as mirrors, pictures, and knick-knacks.

One of the other great things about IKEA is that they offer very contemporary and modern home furniture. Everything is pretty cool and new looking.

Last but not least, the best thing about IKEA besides the cool furniture is the prices. Everything in the store is affordable, which is what I like!

Designing your home's decor is a lifelong process. Many people operate under the assumption that the task of decorating their home should only take a certain amount of time. They think in terms of "Now I will complete the living room," or, "now I will finish the bedroom." Just as time brings change, and as surely as we age, and as surely as our children grow, so will your home change.You will gather more knowledge, read more books, visit new places, and build more memories. Just as you are a work in progress, so you should view your home's development. As you change and grow, so will your tastes in decor. Your unique style and preferences will evolve, even if only slightly. You may decide to incorporate light using molding for indirect lighting, bring in a fresh palette, and add interesting architectural elements and timeless home furnishings.

Planning a new closet or storage system? Usona Home has a great series of closet pictures with intelligent layouts that provide room for hanging storage, drawers, and even movable units. Their high-end storage systems aren't within everyone's reach, but with a little planning and some lower-priced substitutions, a similar look could be achieved...Crystal D. Said : Two of my tips include:(1) Creating decision piles, which I call the "Piles System", and(2) Using The 5-Second Rule. As you sort, it is likely that you will get sidetracked and be tempted to read all those long-lost documents or muse dreamily about that old souvenir you haven't seen since your college days. To avoid this scenario, allow yourself only 5 seconds (yes, thatâ€™s plenty of time) to glance at the item and decide where it goes!

The Pop Design challenge was to style a room using Jonathan Adler’s products. I could do this one in my sleep, as I want at least half of his collection and I worship him. I was really disappointed in the result of this challenge, as I had a favorite who was not the winner. However, my favorite moment was when India called Jonathan “short.”

I suggest housewarming gifts, but you could tag those suggestions for Valentine’s Day or any occasions of the year. In fact, I suspected you may go and buy those for yourself.Cookbook Stand

Once you used a well-designed cookbook stand, you wonder how you lived so long without one. Besides its look, I am craving for the weighted chains to keep the pages in place. From experience I can tell you that with a thick cookbook, the bar at the bottom are not enough.

The Architectural Cookbook Stand is more suitable for a larger kitchen. If the style harmonizes well with the recipient’s kitchen, I am telling you that you cannot find a better gift for $29.
